Results Are In

My husband had a liter and a half of fluid removed from area between lung and chest wall. The diagnosis now is stage 4 and he begins treatment on Wednesday.

He will be on carboplatin, Alimta, and keytruda. How has keytruda worked for you? I wasn’t able to take it and just would like to hear from others with experience with this.

I hope to see some posts regarding Keytruda treatment for LCa. A friend has just started & we're hoping & praying it works. Everything else has failed.

No experience with keytruda, sorry. I just wanted to say I will keep you guys in my prayers. I am here if you need me. I'm sorry I know I'm not much help, or any help.
